1: Quite obviously that is not a motor but an engine. The keepers of the cooler bible are very clear when they rightly state that only electric motors are allowed. Shall I quote you the ten pages? Besides, that thing looks like a small block.
2: That's not the correct shade of white.
3: Don't get me started on the wheels. Obviously aluminum and not magnesium, never mind that the knockoffs are modern hex instead of true knockoff.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection I see that the front wheels are actually cotter key and not hex. According to the Shelby bible and backed up by my own interpretations, cotter keys are allowed as long as they are made in South Africa (if in the correct part of the factory), Mexico, or Nevada.

Therefore: I shall lock onto this single discovery and ignore any other pertinent information. I declare it to in fact be real.
